Frenectomy
What is Frenum?
They are soft tissues (connective tissue) that can be seen as a thin fibrous line that’s attached to the gums (gingiva)- lips.
Why do you need Frenum removed(frenectomy)?
Frenum can cause variations in their attachment location which can interfere with the regular growth and function of orofacial structures. Elongated lingual frenum or also known as tongue tie can cause difficulty in feeding infants. This tongue tie can affect speech development or even orofacial skeletal/muscle developments
Why choose dental lasers over a scalpel for removing tongue tie?
- Precise and predictable – minimal but desired removal of tissue
- Minimal to no local anesthetics needed (freezing)
- Lasers cauterize where it cuts which cuts down bleeding (minimal to no blood) from the surgical site, and in turn reduces the chances of secondary infection
- Better healing, less post-operative pain
- No sutures required
- Suitable option for all ages including infants
